But typical, another judge ruling from the bench

Ummm...I think they are generally expected to rule from the bench. Perhaps you meant legislate from the bench?
Please think about how the civil rights movement would have worked out in the South if equal rights for blacks were simply left to a vote. A democratic process shouldn't be a blank check for the slimmest majority to oppress any minority it chooses, and that's why we have a judiciary empowered to correct such injustices.
